Re: You think these pills are actually hurting me? at Candida & Dysbiosis Forum

Cellulose is required to feed our beneficial flora. The flora ferment the fibers breaking them down as a food source. Problem with cellulase though is that the enzyme breaks down fibers in to simple sugars before they can reach the flora to feed them. Instead there is a lot of sugar produced that can feed the Candida. And even the Candida walls digested by the enzymes produce simple sugars that will feed the surviving Candida.

You must mean the capsules, which are generally made of gelatin. But gelatin is not bad:

Gelatin fragments block adherence of Candida albicans to extracellular matrix proteins.

Abstract

The adherence of Candida albicans to extracellular matrix proteins may be a critical step in the pathogenesis of candidiasis. Yeast cell adherence to type I and IV collagen, fibronectin and laminin was blocked by peptide fragments from denatured type I collagen (gelatin). Gelatin fragments were obtained by digestion of the reduced protein with trypsin or CNBr. The fragments did not have antifungal properties, presumably inhibiting adherence by blocking receptors (adhesins) on the surface of the fungus. A 10-mer (GQRGVVGLPG) fashioned from the alpha-1 chain of type I collagen reduced adherence by 68%. However, a gelatin peptide possessing 47 amino acids reduced fungal adherence to type I collagen by 100%. Peptides derived from the biocompatible protein gelatin, therefore, may have a potential role in reducing the adherence of the fungus to host proteins.

I google cellulose an it said bacteria secrete it to make biofilms, does that mean it helps the bad bacteria?

Yes, some bacteria do secrete cellulose and it is a component of cell walls. But I am not convinced that it plays a major role in biofilm formation. Research the role of pH in biofilms. This appears to more of a factor. High (alkaline) pH appears to increase biofilm strength. So this goes back to the flora being beneficial as they produce beneficial acids that would weaken biofilms.
